(AndroidHeadlines) Intel and Qualcomm are expected to go toe to toe in what appears to be a high-stakes battle over AR/VR and AI supremacy. The Californian tech giants have been pumping in astonishing amounts of resources to ensure their monopoly over the virtual environment.
Intel currently seems to have a significant edge over Qualcomm with its higher spending in the market for innovating and advertising products complemented by its partnerships with some of the biggest companies in this sector. Whether Qualcomm’s decision of focusing solely on the smartphone industry works out in its favor is anyone guess but with the company having already launched over 20 XR products for its Snapdragon 800 series SoC and another 20 XR oriented products currently in development, it all essentially boils down to user perception, requirement, and affordability of the product in question.
